About Clive

Clive Fisher is a counsellor registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and has eight years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. He trained to a diploma level in integrative counselling at a BACP accredited college and brings both professional and personal insight to his work. Clive has worked in private practice and in community mental health settings supporting people with longer-term mental health needs.

Clive supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and anger. He also helps with relationship and family difficulties, loss and bereavement, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. He lists additional areas such as ADHD, parenting, career concerns and compassion fatigue among his focus areas.

His counselling draws on an integrative mix of approaches. He uses client-centred listening to follow what matters most to the person. Cognitive-behavioural ideas are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new ways of responding. Attachment-based thinking informs how early relationships shape current patterns.

Clive also draws on existential and Jungian ideas when these fit the work, exploring meaning, values and personal patterns. He describes his own experience of anxiety and depression as useful background for building practical coping strategies with clients. He works with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful.

Sessions and fees vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How sessions work

How Clive uses different therapies online

Clive uses client-centred work to prioritise what matters most to the person; sessions focus on listening, clarifying concerns and deciding the next steps together. This approach helps when someone needs a straightforward conversation about feelings, relationships or daily stresses.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and test new ways of responding. CBT elements are practical for managing anxiety, low mood and anger by changing patterns of thought and behaviour. Attachment-based ideas are used to explore how early relationships affect current reactions and connection with others, which can help with relationship difficulties and trust issues.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to agree which methods suit their goals and preferences. That shared planning means the approach can change as the work progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more flexible check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to keep therapy accessible while matching methods to what the person wants to focus on.
